Bush even used his case to justify the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program. Rebecca Gordon, a contributor to The Nation and TomDispatch, or author and lecturer in the Philosophy department at the University of San Francisco,discusses her piece in The Nation, done in partnership with TomDispatch: “The CIA Waterboarded the unsuitable Man 83 Times in 1 Month.” Gordon reveals how the CIA tortured Zubaydeh for years, or why it’s likely that he remains in solitary detention in Guantánamo.
